The first IUCN Red List assessment of the conservation status of raptors in North Africa shows that almost half of the species with breeding populations in the region are classified as threatened with extinction. Three species were classified as Regionally Extinct. The Cinereous vulture (Aegypius monachus) and the Spanish imperial eagle (Aquila adalberti), have not been observed to breed for decades in North Africa while the Dark chanting-goshawk (Melierax metabates) has been declared Regionally Extinct only in 2007.
